Bro. Stanley: . . , Our meeting at San Luis Rey wa^Tery tine—eight confessions in a week, and a small community. Bros. Frazee and Borden aided much. There were two additions at El Monte last month, Jvvo at Artesia, and two at Anaheim. We keep our regular course at Downey City, and peace and good will prevail everywhere, I think. Still, we lack that consuming zeal necessary to a great work. The temperance question is occu pying largely in California, or rath er the question of prohibition. We arc told generally, “ Oh, you cannot succeed; there is too great a wine- interest. Alcohol is too strong;” We are sorry success is not our part. It is our business to be right if we can. We would a thousand times rather die in a fail ure, than live in a success that is not just. God gives the increase. More than thirty years ago,- I found I ha«l to get my patients out of a malarial region before I could cure them. $o intimately were the cause and the e fleet connected. I could not remove the malarial poison, but I could remove my pa tients out of it. So I have seen for years, that if a Christian could not build up a congregation where he is, he should go wher^. there is one. If we cannot correct the evil we should get away from it. If there were a winery or distillery, - ami could not jjQmove. it, I would remove myself. . Then there are two points I would be glad to have labored at length in your Temperance depart A Card.

Stanley: D ear S ir ,—Lain becoming bet tex. acquainted with the Disciples, through the kindness of some of the readers of the Standard, who have sent me copies of the same from time to time, and also a few pamphlets, etc. I should like to read some of your larger works,- but bein<x in limited circumstances at present, cannot furnish myself with them. Should any of your readers have second-hand liooks that they do not care to keep, and would be kind enough to favor me with any of them, I will send lxioks or papers in exchange, and shall also ever be grateful for the favor. Truly yours, H. G. L ucas . | 10,000 Card Tracts. By the time you read this the (Christian Sower Tract Fund will have received still another edition of card tracts containing the above number. Many destitute fields are being supplied free of charge. It really looks as if the brethren re gard this fund with much favor. At the-close of December'’^. full re port of the year’s work will be made. This is the pioneer effort among us for the free distribution of tracts. Are you a friend to this work ? These tracts are free to those who are not able to buy but who will circulate them. To others they are 50 • cents per hundred. There are five kinds now. New ones’ will follow soon. Modesty keeps some who have received a gift of tracts from reading again; this should not be. Contributions are needed as the sales do not keep week’s duration, conducted by Elds.

He leaves a kind, Chiistian and devoted wife, with whom he spent his last days, to mingle her tears with the tears of his dear children and many loving friends over his de parture. As a husband and father, he was all that could be expected of mor tal man —ever kind, loving, sympathiz ing and protecting, preferring their wants to those of his own. As a Chris tian, no man doubts his religion. His life was so full of the golden fruits of the Spirit that to be with him was to feel yourself in the presence of a man that walked and lived with God. The verdict of all who knew him is, that his spirit is now roaming with the blest.« He was an earnest, active and self-sacu- ficing minister of the Gospel for about fifty years. Several thousand souls were brought to Jesus by his earnest labors. Oh ! what a starry crown will he wear on his brow through eternity, No. thought or subject wp . s so de ear to hi* heart as the salvation of sotilX J Among the last words he ever said to me were words of encouragement in proclaiming the Gospel. His faith grew stronger and stronger and his hope brighter and brighter, till his spirit was no more with UH. Let me say to bis many loving friends, and to his dear children and wife, who loved him the most : ho is waiting and watching to welcome you on the other shore. May wyall meet him there is the earnest prayer of T. A-R exnolds .
